about us

a little about us

Modern Steep is an independently owned and operated business headquartered in Seattle, Washington and we're on a mission to share our love of healthful tea to a new generation of tea drinkers with a contemporary feel.

Our name changed in early 2017 as we responded to feedback suggesting that our former name, Remedy Teas, was too narrowly defining. Looking through our expansive tea menu, you'll quickly notice that we proudly source everything from single-origin, pure leaf teas to our numerous custom blended teas and tisanes. Ultimately, we consider ourselves to be a down-to-earth, no-pinkies-up kind of tea company focused on quality, creativity, and always on the lookout for new ways to share and enjoy tea.

Modern Steep owners, Christopher Glenn & Rich Irish, strive to source the best teas available while offering the best customer service in the industry . . . because great tea and great customers make us who we are.

In both our personal and professional lives, we are committed to partnering with and sourcing from businesses and individuals who respect and protect the environment. We are proud to source most all of our pure leaf teas directly from tea makers located around the world. For our many custom blended teas, we enjoy long-standing, personal relationships with our suppliers whose missions align well with our own when it comes to integrity in sourcing, focusing on those having healthy, organic and sustainable agricultural practices.

Whether you experience our teas at dozens of cafes, restaurants and grocers in the Puget Sound area, or shop with us online, we sincerely hope you enjoy our wide variety of organic, single-origin and custom blended teas as much as we love them ourselves.

why organic?

Tea is a wonderful, healthful part of our daily routine. Why spoil such a good thing with harsh chemical pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers? It is integral to our mission to source from growers who choose to grow amazing, world class teas using all-natural and organic methods. Not only do we feel better about consuming these teas, we believe that the benefits extend all the way back to the tea farmers and their families who can live and work in an environment free from these harmful chemicals. We live better; they live better. It's a win-win situation that we feel strongly about and hope that you do, too.
